Dear Prospective Partners,
At FreshSight Queen’s our vision is to instill a sense of empathy and stewardship in the leaders of tomorrow. We believe that one of the greatest ways for us to make an impact is through creating an environment where thought leaders at university can use their knowledge and abilities to create a positive impact. By starting this mentality in university, we hope to create a generation of professionals who are willing to volunteer their time to create better outcomes in their community over the course of their lives. With support from the executive team and outside organizations we strive to understand the context of the organization and deliver practical solutions to our clients that directly address their most pressing problems.
Since September 2012, we have seen impressive growth for FreshSight at Queen’s University. From our humble beginnings as an idea from the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, we have grown to an organization of 35 members serving 6 local charities. We will not let this precedent slow our plans for growth, however, as we hope to pass on our model and our proprietary models for helping non-profits to other universities throughout Canada over the course of the coming years.
Our executive and consultants spend count-less hours creating an organization that provides great results for the organizations that we serve. However, our efforts can only go so far in providing great value for the clients that
we serve. Our quality of service, operations and ability to serve our clients with profes-sionalism depend on generous support from organizations like yours. Being a sponsor of FreshSight will give you direct access and exposure to our talent. We have a rigorous selection process, and provide training to our members to ensure that their ability to help an organization solve their most pressing challenges is second to none. Supporting Freshsight is also a socially conscious decision for your organization, as your organization’s resources are leveraged through FreshSight to enact positive change in the community. We would like to take this chance to extend the offer to your organization to work with us. Together we can create a positive impact in our community, enable a challenging experi-ence for our consultants and allow FreshSight to create value for many years to come.

CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP | JAN 2014
– Niall Fitzerald, Former CEO, Unilever
“Corporate Social Responsibility is a
hard-edged business decision. Not because it is a nice thing to do or
because people are forcing us to do it
because it is good for our business.”

CORPORATE PARTNERSHIP | JAN 2014
In order to better understand how FreshSight creates value we first need to think about how non-profits create an impact in the communities they serve.
A non-profit functions by bringing three main ingredients together, resources, passion and drive, and the skills and abilities of their members. When these three things come together in a non-profit they use them to create an impact in their community.
FreshSight creates value by working to grow the resources available to non-profits through helping them clarify their strategy and marketing or by increasing the skill and abilities of the members of the organization. Through this, we increase the impact that the organization creates in community, and make society better as a whole.
